50 Parent Who Gave Kids Weird Or Unconvential Names

50.

And lastly, here’s an unusual name that turned out to be absolutely perfect: “My son’s name started out as a joke about ‘artsy’ baby names, but the moment my husband said it he actually liked it. Oak was born a premie with a heart condition, and is a fully healthy 2-year-old today who has more than lived up to his name.”

And before you go, look at the amazing follow-up comments this story got:

“So about two years ago I was on an airplane with a lady who just had a grandson named Oak! She said she wasn’t sure about it at first, but since Oak went through so much as a premie with a heart condition she loved it now! So either there’s a second Oak with a similar story OR I sat next to your mom/MIL on a plane???? Wild! She was really sweet and offered me her Southwest free drink coupon lol.”
